Apparently, Donald Trump can only visit people who have very big back gardens (big enough for a helicopter to land) since he's having to go everywhere in a helicopter to avoid protesters.

frog222 - put the kettle on - you could be in for a treat! (Well, if you weren't in France. But it must, nevertheless, be a worry.)

Was in that London today and saw two big helicopters. Guess it must have been the Donald on his visit to see his fans in the United Kingdom of Great Brexit.

I know. Let's cut all ties with the EU in order to please Donald Trump - so that we can look surprised when he offers us a trade deal on his terms and all that that would entail. I can't see any downside to that at all.

May, meanwhile, standing before the media and live TV cameras, will face calls to emulate Hugh Grant’s prime minister in the 2003 film Love Actually, who informs the American president: “A friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger.”

Failing that, as Trump goes on to take tea with the Queen, the prime minister could always join the demonstrations on the streets of London. It seems she has nothing to lose.
